Room & Board - Shoot Revisited

I was reminded of these photos while staying in Park City over the weekend. The closest I got to sharing these were a little over a year ago in this post. And just like this weekend, this shoot made me hungry for snow.

These were shot for Square Magazine's Snowed In issue, which was guest edited by The Q Network - they hooked us up like no other. Photographed at The Canyons Resort in Park City, we were given access to a suite which made for a perfect location and comfortable place for everyone to chill (and play Uno) between shots.

We had the models carpool up so they could get to know each other and become fast friends, which they did, because by the time I said "Now act like friends," they didn't have to act.
BEHIND THE SCENES -
It was a lot of work for just four images, but as always a lot of fun.

 Devereaux Smith, from the Q Network, and Emily Frame, Square's fashion editor, did a great job with wardrobe - giving each model their own individual style. Emily will tell you, I usually have something to say about what is worn and who wears what when it comes to stuff like this, but this time I kept my mouth shut and let Devereaux and Emily work their magic.

Best "you had to be there" moment: Bo, our youngest model, had (and still has) the deepest voice. And I mean deep. During lunch I asked him to repeat "Oh, Baby" really slow. He did.
Watch out ladies.

Rock Enrollment - Shoot Revisted

These were shot, for Square Magazine's "Rock Issue," near the end of summer '06, to highlight local bands and musicians. As part of the featured spread, each group was asked to do a cover of their favorite song, which was then offered as a free download on Square's site. The project proved to be daunting, but successful.

Seve vs. Evan - Besides the large group shot, this shot of Severin Bozung and Evan Sharp is my favorite. I was most excited to shoot the both of them and they executed what I had asked for perfectly. Even the chalk drawing Severin came up with - which I am still the proud owner of.

Benton Paul - Benton's been getting a lot of buzz lately and for good reason. I love his latest album. Keep your ears open for him, good things are coming his way.

It's funny to look back over these and see how much my style hasn't changed. But... it is "old school prep" and I'm all over that.




Here's a behind-the-scenes video of the shoot.
My friend Joseph Draschil put this together for Square and I had forgotten all about it until last night. It was fun to watch again. Enjoy.

I still can't thank Karli Haglund and her parents enough for their help with last minute "location scouting" the night before. Lifesavers.

Summer Champ - Behind-the-Scenes

Before I post the final shots from the Summer Champ shoot, I mentioned in April, here's a behind-the-scenes look at what went on.

The original concept.

Notes, ideas, inspiration, and a more defined sketch of the spread compiled by my fashion editor, Emily, and I so that we had a clear vision of how the finished product should look and feel.

The shooting order and prop list.

We were originally planning to shoot up American Fork Canyon, but when April decided to deliver some fresh pow, that plan quickly changed. My neighborhood became, the new, Camp Red Feather.
The neighbors got quite a show.

And in grand tradition, by the end of the shoot, "numbers were exchanged." Happens every time.
Emily and I keep track.

Check back tomorrow to see the results.
